Other over Suisun (Soosoon) City, CA

The report, as filed

I was driving westbound on Highway 12 about 2 miles from Suisun City in Northern California on 11/12/22. It was about 1:15 PM on a very clear day with some white fluffy clouds. Looking to the Southwest maybe 10 miles away at an estimated elevation maybe less than 2000 feet or maybe 1 finger lengthwise above the horizon, I witnessed a flash of bright light in broad daylight. It disappeared and then a second later it flashed again. Way faster than I would imagine commercial or military aircraft could fly. I don’t know if it was one or two objects. The flash was about the size as the very tip of a sharpened lead pencil. I didn’t think anything of it until I saw it the second flash perhaps several miles later making me believe it was traveling at a unusually high rate of speed. Then I never saw it again. I consistently see C5s take off and fly around and land at nearby Travis AFB. But they are big and lumbering Aircraft that makes one wonder why they don't fall out of the sky. And they are grey anyway and wouldn’t reflect the sun like that. Commercial aircraft don’t reflect light like that, besides these flashes were extra ordinarily bright beyond what I would consider reflection from the Sun. Other military A/C in general are gray also. They were not in any flight pattern I have witnessed from aircraft flying in or out of Oakland International Airport or SFO. Having been a jet mechanic and involved with Naval Aviation for 20 years I can’t tell you what I saw as brief as it was. Some may say they were meteorites, which I can’t argue against. But they were parallel to the surface which doesn’t seem to be like meteorites I’ve seen and read about. I think also the second flash was higher than the first making me think it had gained altitude. I also had the sensation they had turned some. So to be honest I don’t know what I saw and maybe it can easily be explained away but my gut feeling upon reflection is that it was something extraordinary. I hope someone will submit a report if they saw the same thing.
